Adventure Series for Veterans and Families

Join other Veterans and their Families for FREE activities to strengthen family bonds before, during and after military deployment. Veterans and Families may explore a new sport, meet other Veterans and Military Families, and learn more about the clinical services, education, and research offered by Home Base. Home Base collaborates with businesses and non-profit community organizations throughout New England who host the Adventure Series activities. Past activities include: skiing, skating, and museum visits in the winter and sailing, attending baseball games, and other sports in the summer time. Events are open to both adaptive and able-bodied participants.

*Please be advised that Home Base’s Adventure Series events are often covered by media outlets showcasing these fun, free, family activities. Photos and/or video may also be used in Home Base marketing materials.

If you do not wish to be photographed, please inform a Home Base representative on site.

How do I sign up for an Adventure Series event?

Upcoming Adventure Series events are listed above. Click below to go through the registration process. You will be directed towards another screen where you can register for the event(s) you are interested in.

Who Can Participate?

The Adventure Series is open to Veterans, Service Members, and their Families.

Are the Events Free?

These opportunities are a result of the collaborative efforts of Home Base and local businesses, non-profits, and community organizations throughout New England. From all of us to you, it’s our own unique way of saying, “Thank you for your service.”

What Happens If I Can No Longer Attend an Event I Registered For?

We ask that if you have registered for an event and cannot attend that you inform the event coordinator at least 48 hours prior to the event. Not showing up to an event harms the program in several ways. First, it takes a spot away from an individual or family hoping to participate in that event. Second, it can potentially hurt our relationship with the partnering agencies who offer these events free of charge. We appreciate your help on this matter and look forward to many fun events together! Failure to notify the event coordinator will result in your name being put on a blacklist for future Adventure Series events for the next year.

What If I Don’t Receive a Confirmation/Waitlist Email?

We can’t always complete the ticket lottery immediately after you’ve registered, but we’ll do our best to send you a confirmation/waitlist email at least 3 weeks before the event. If you haven’t seen a response from us by then, you have a few different options. 1) Check your spam folder. Our confirmation and waitlist emails are automated, so many servers will send them directly to spam. If you find an email from us there, consider whitelisting the email address you are receiving them from. 2) Select the event in question and log in using the same email and password with which you registered. Once you’ve done so, a notification of your status should appear in a gray box on the right hand side of the screen. If you’ve already registered for the event, it will read “Confirmed”, “Waitlisted”, or “Registered”. 3) You can contact the event coordinator and ask them to check your status, and for help if need be.
